Daytona 500

Jamie McMurray may not be a full-time driver with Chip Ganassi Racing this year, but the team is forming a partnership with Spire Motorsports that will allow the winner of the 2010 Daytona 500 to make his 17th start in NASCAR’s season-starting Daytona 500 next month.

It turned out to be an all Hendrick Motorsports front row for the Daytona 500, with sophomore racer Chase Elliott and veteran Dale Earnhardt, Jr. locking in their starting 1-2 positions for the ‘Great American Race’ this Sunday.
